\(/ood Filing Cabinets in Demand
Washington, D. C., April 18.-To meet the increasing demand for filing cabinets made of wood as opposed to other materials, the Globe-Wernicke Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, is putting out a new and distinctive line of beautiful wood filing cabinets.
The manufacturers have added to the beauty, dignity, and charm of wood furniture the latest and best mechanical features developed for efficient filing equipment.
Lumbermen will be glad to push the use of this and similar office equipment. The cabinet is unusually well made and is beautifully finished in oak, walnut or mahogany veneer over a five-ply poplar core. Through improvement of design and construction the file takes as little floor space as that made from any competing material.
Smartly designed hardware of polished cast bronze adds to the appearance. Drawers operate on cradle-type progressive steel extension slides equipped with ball-bearing rollers. A patented filing principle which keeps the contents of each drawer in an upright position, with ample r,r'orking space for removing or inserting correspondence and folders, is incorporated in the ner,v cabinet. Folders are supported in such a manner that they cannot recline at an angle of more than 45 degrees.
